[linux-audio-user] Re: [a-users] Fwd: 2.6.10-1-multimedia and GRUB

grub> find /boot/initrd... did not fing the file though, there is an
/initrd.img file in /root directory. How do I confirm if it is
associated with the 2.6.10 kernel? I guess I can just add it to
menu.lst.

My box has three hard drives and one dvd drive. as i stated earlier,
the setup is something like this:
root is on hdc1
home is on hdc2
winxp/C is on hda1
win98/D is on hdb1
dvd is hdd

my menu.lst is has follows:

title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7
root (hd2,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro
savedefault
boot

title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 (recovery mode)
root (hd2,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single
savedefault
boot

title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7
root (hd2,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7
savedefault
boot

title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 (recovery mode)
root (hd2,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7
savedefault
boot
